"I had the great privilege of working on the sets of Fellini’s Satyricon and Roma. Fellini is for me one of the greatest of all filmmakers—he embraced life with his unique vision and genius. La strada, made in 1954, is the poetic and very moving story of a poor young woman who becomes a clown in a tiny, two-person circus. Her name is Gelsomina. A brutish gypsy, Zampanò, buys Gelsomina from her mother and takes her on the road with him. He trains her to be a clown. She falls in love with him even though he is abusive and cruel. What transpires is a tragic love story with the background of a magical traveling circus. This film surely influenced my interest in and love of the circus."

Truly magical
This book is truly magical.
The characters are so beautifully crafted that you will fall in love with each and every one of them.
As I read this story I felt as though I had entered a dream where I was falling more and more in love with each word I devoured.
The three siblings at the centre of this book are desperate for love but a curse of threatens to ruin everything.
I fell so deeply in love with these people that heart became their hearts.
The writing stops being words on a page and it’s becomes something your eyes are seeing for themselves.

I Love a Book is done well. I love the pictures and it keeps me fantastic. Young Children would love looking at the pictures for hours. It would keep them to turning the page. The story is sweet as well. I believe it rhymes and make it more of a poem for parts of it.

The author does a wonderfully with it. It also might about the author when he was a young boy. You have young children that love books will this book talk about books throughout. It great for readers and parents but also for children that want learn about books a bit as well.

Another incredible book by one of my favorite authors. Kristy has a way of writing that truly makes you feel as though you KNOW these characters and love them, scars and all. I am HUGE Driven Trilogy fan and this book was a perfect addition.. LOVE Hawke and Quinn and my absolute favorite parts were the moments we got to revisit with Colton, Riley and most of all, special guest appearances from the D-Bags! My all-time favorite rockers hanging out together (love it!). Love the witty banter between Quinn and the guys and Quinn's strength is apparent throughout. Another absolute must-read.... beautifully written story!

Finally get to see a King Kong movie that doesn't revolve around a love story. (2 more)
Every scene with Kong in it is a lot of fun.
Really innovative death scenes
Human characters were kind of a bore. (0 more)
Kong Is King (even when this movie is not)

Simon Pegg does it again. I love his movies. This one is not his best, but the acting was good, the cinematography was great and the story entertained. Full of good humor and and interesting plot, this movie was just ffun all around. Worth a watch!
